Oh to Be a Determinist

To see not the illusion of free will,
To follow effortlessly down the river of destiny,
Knowingly aware of one's inability to change course.

The optimists and pessimists

Bask in the glow of self affirmation
Regardless of reality. Good or bad or in between.
Everything as it should be, unfolding like they said it would.

Oh to be free! Oh not to know!

What little things can change the course of life.
For every act, a calculation to weigh the pros and cons.
Who reaps the spoils of this anxiety? What future improves?

Perhaps we may never know.

In fact- I am certain that we will not.
I am certain of nothing. Except change and uncertainty.
I seek no satisfaction. I revel in uncertainty.

At First Glance

At first glance,
You wouldn't know.

At first glance,
It might not show.

But I know.
And you know.
There is something inside.

Beneath the externalities
We can find the eternalities.

Infinite Resonance.

Such similar sounds.
Such different expressions.

Dynamic Harmonies.

A Poem at 3am

It's A Beautiful Thing.
To Know Someone.
To Hold A Copy In Your Mind.
To Simulate Hypotheticals.
It's A Beautiful Thing.
To Be Known.
To Live In Another's Head.
To Share A Part Of Yourself.
Every Time You Imagine My Reaction.
Every Time I Predict Your Action.
That's Me In You.
That's You In Me.
At Least In Part.
We Live On.

Paradox

Keep your simple truths,
I want paradox
Keep your simple truths,
Like the sky is blue
And the grass is green
Neither. Is true.

I do not want the truth
That fears opposition
That hides from its shadow
Truer truth is bolstered,
Rather than diminished
By contradiction

Follow the chaordic path
Connect through isolation
Create art through destruction
Be passionate with reason
Discover Pleasure in pain
Be soft with your hardness

True forms of bravery
Do not roar in the night
The real kind of courage
Does not mask but grows from
Vulnerability
Sensitivity

Light is not simple,
Its a paradox
Light is neither a
Wave or particle
Light is everything
Everywhere at once

I cannot find the darkness

I cannot find the darkness
That I am told exists
I have not found the evil
That lurks around corners

We once believed that darkness
Exists to cause a fright
The truth is that the shadows
Are only lack of light

There is no Time

There is no time
There is only distance
There is no time
Only order of events

Time does not exist
In the eyes a photon
Everything that was
Or is or ever will be
Happends all at once.

Time marches on
We cannot escape it
Time marches on
At a steady pacing

Time does not care
That I do not feel it
Like the clocks do
How I’m supposed to
Time marches on
Regardless of Existence
